Wyoming Housing Network - A Case Study On Building Wealth

In partnership with a Native housing authority and a Native community development financial institution (CDFI) Wyoming Housing Network (WHN) developed a culturally responsive approach centered on affordable homeownership opportunities and generational wealth building for Native Americans on the Wind River Reservation and in surrounding areas. Intending to work with renters and homebuyers for three or more years WHN is beginning to work with its first set of Native buyers who want to put a home on their land supported by a housing authority. This culturally responsive approach leverages WHN's nearly 20-year history of providing affordable housing opportunities and individual services across Wyoming by building trust with key Native institutions over time.
